My Color

I had a best friend who was a guy, and everyone thought that we were going to end up together. His eyes were like mine, and they changed color. He had one color that noone would ever see unless he was looking at me or unless we were together.
One day he decided to just stop talking to me. I didn't think I would ever find anyone as amazing as him, and when I did, I stopped thinking about him altogether. Now the only time I think of him is when I read these lyrics.

It all started out when you left me, I started falling apart. I never knew you'd be the one to hurt me, Especially not the one to break my heart. But even though you avoid me,

I see my color in your eyes, I see the pain you hide inside, I feel the lonliness you feel, Because I feel it, too.

You thought I'd forgotten. You thought I wouldn't care. Don't you see how much you've made me choose.

But I still see my color in your eyes, I still see the pain you hide inside, I still feel the lonliness you feel, Because I feel it, too.

Now I'm gone, I'm being forced to choose. But I don't want to, because I still need you. But I love him, I'm sorry to say goodbye.

Now I can't see the pain you hide inside, I can't feel the lonliness you feel, The only thing thats keeping me with you, Is my color in your eyes. My color in your eyes.

Now I'm with him, and I'm for sure in love. If you want to, I'll still be your friend. I just want you to know, That you've ruined everything by that stupid mistake.

I can't see the pain that's caused from me. I can't see the lonliness I've made. The only thing that I miss in you, Is my color in your eyes.
